'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (or simply '''9 Kappa-Mu'''){{Fn|3}} is a mysterious relic of the [[Sol System]] that orbits around the sun between [[Terra]] and [[Venus]].{{Fn|2}}

Having been seen orbiting the sun even in the earliest Sol System stellar charts, its name was given by the [[Mechanicum]] of [[Mars]]. A geodesic sphere of black metal 30km in diameter, it was marked by honeycombed passages and catacombs. Its origin is unknown, and may even predate the [[Dark Age of Technology]].{{Fn|1}}

Most remarkable of the artifact was that it is completely invisible to all methods of detection save physical touch and natural sight. When the [[Imperium]] formed, they conducted countless analysis of the relic but nothing could explain its capabilities. There had been attempts to destroy the relic, but nothing could scratch its surface.{{Fn|1}}

During the [[Solar War]] of the [[Horus Heresy]], the relic was used as an [[Alpha Legion]] operative rendezvous point but was raided by the [[Imperial Fists]].{{Fn|1}}
